Sharepoint in VPN

[Jaminj]

Has anyone had any issues w/ accessing Sharepoint through a vpn connection? When I VPN from home I am unable to access Sharepoint. I have another application on the same server using IIS that works fine.

I have not had any problem access our Sharepoint Portal thru VPN. Are you getting authentication errors or invalid path? Just trying to get a feel for what is happening once you get the VPN connection.

I just get a 'Page cannot be displayed' message. Now I can't access either site that I have in IIS. Is there an IIS setting that I need?

I just figured this out. It was a dns issue. I have our Sharepoint site setup using a host header. When I was connected through VPN I couldn't ping the server name or portal name by using the hostname. I could ping by ip address. So I created entries in my host file and can now access the portal.

Thanks for the help.
